Third Annual
Soyfoods Symposium
Speakers
Mary Anthony, MS
Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NCMary S. Anthony, MS, has been involved in research since 1978 in Comparative Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Currently she is a cardiovascular epidemiologist working as a Research Assistant with a research group led by Thomas B. Clarkson, DVM.
Her principle interest is in the development of a therapeutic agent to protect postmenopausal women from the deleterious effects of estrogen deprivation including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cognitive dysfunction and colorectal cancer, while not increasing risk of other neoplasia such as breast and uterine cancer. Most recently, these interests have led to investigations of the potential benefit of a nutritional compound, soy phytoestrogens, as a potential therapy. Her approach to this research and perspective on the conduct of research are unique in that she uses fundamental epidemiological principles to design and implement studies using cynomolgus monkeys. Results of these studies are invaluable in providing direction for the design of human clinical trials in studies of women's health.
Ms. Anthony is a co-author of seven book chapters and 24 peer-reviewed journal articles. Ms. Anthony received her bachelor's degree in mathematical biology in 1977 from Wake Forest University, her master's degree in epidemiology in 1995 from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and is presently completing her Ph.D. thesis in epidemiology at the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
